    When is thin, to thin?

    The other day I was putting a coat of NXT 2.0 on my wife's silver CR-V and I was forced to apply by hand, because I had no clean 9006 pads and it has been a while since I've "waxed by hand", but I immediately noticed a huge difference in the amount of wax I was putting on the car (by hand) as opposed to using my G110.

    The wax came off like a dream so I don't think I put on too much and it made me think that when I'm waxing with my G110, I'm not getting enough wax on the car.

    Essentially, is it possible I'm putting on to little wax when I'm using the G110? Maybe I need to take some pics to show the difference but I'm pretty liberal in my use of wax on the 9006 pad, it just seems like the pad soaks up most of the wax, not leaving much on the car.

    I know I'm still getting wax on the car because I can see it, it is just much less than when I did it by hand.

    As long as your getting wax on the car and full coverage then your good. There is no such thing as too thin. Only a microscopic layer bonds and stays behind after you wipe the excess away. NXT 2.0 is pretty easy to remove so I would guess even if you put it on too thick it would be pretty easy to remove.

    I still don't like applying wax with a DA, guess I'm just old school.

    I think #16 is a great tool for teaching how to put it on thin. Too thick and it's like trying to remove concrete.

      Years ago, I was told that if you can see the product on the vehicle, you have applied plenty of product. Usually more than needed.

        That's why I apply two coats of wax, not to have "more wax" applied but to be certain that I have a even coverage on the entire vehicle

          That's the reasoning behind two thin coats, (if you have time).

          Uniform appearance
          Uniform coverage
